Space Management

The Office of Capital Planning is the central monitoring point of all
space on campus. Our office tracks, assigns, and reports all square
footage on campus. We prioritize requests for space when it becomes
available, provide temporary office space during renovations, and
coordinate moves associated with renovations.

As part of this effort, the Office of Capital Planning is also
responsible for reporting space utilization to the Ohio Board of
Regents through their Higher Education Information system. The HEI system is a database of all Ohio
colleges and universities space. This information is gathered by
conducting space audits with departments and reporting through files
submitted to the State. These reports include detailed information on
building structures and their conditions, as well as rooms and their
use. The State closely scrutinizes the utilization of classrooms and
class labs on all campuses. This information is used for consideration
in allocation of funding based upon age space calculations.

Space Audits

The Office of Capital Planning periodically conducts space audits.
The purpose of the space audit is to gather the most accurate,
up-to-date information available. Departments are required to update
the space assigned to them and its use, through the audit process.
This information is then reported to the Ohio Board of Regents for use
in the Higher Education Information system. Comparative analysis and
space utilization calculations are made using these reports.

It is critical that departments complete the audits in order for our
office to report the information to the State by the required
deadline. Our office maintains an inventory of over 4.25 million
square feet of space on campus. It is an enormous endeavor that can
only be a success with the cooperation of every department.

ACCESSIBILITY
